I think this photo is a harbinger of spring.

A pink baby mitten hanging in a tree with the snow melting in the background. 

The trees are all still bare, but the sun is offering hope.

I hope spring is coming where you are, unless, of course, you're in the southern hemisphere!

This week has been a tough one for me, so the morning sunshine on this pink poppy is about the most hopeful thing I can find. 

I'm trying to jump start my mood. I ran this morning and stopped at Starbucks for a mocha with caffeine (I usually drink decaf.) On my walk home, I saw a number of yellow finches flitting along and landing on the side of a brick building. They made me smile, so I know all hope is not lost. 

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

Outdoors the temperature has dropped again, but inside, we have some lovely pink tulips blooming.

Grace received a vase of tulips for her birthday and they lasted nearly two weeks. I don't think my outdoor tulips last nearly that long. It's nice to have color in the house.

I hope you have something beautiful to look at today too.

My friends and I met to run as we do every Saturday morning, beginning in the dark. When we returned, the sun was rising and sending pretty pink colors across the sky.


I love the way the colors reflect in the lake. This looks like it could be an impressionist painting.
In the other direction, the colors were still pretty but not as stark, and looked lovely reflected in the lake.
